Writers’ Weir: Drum circle jam
Published 3:00 am Wednesday, April 10, 2019
A benighted arrival
Mergence within a circle
Congenial strangers
With hands delivering cadence
Quick attunement to one another
And energy circulates within
Individuals accent the collective
Achieving a group consciousness
United in action and mind
Neither perfection nor pattern
But influencing self-expression
Resonating rhythmic bedlam
Co-creation, improvisation changes the flow
New direction emanates
Pulsating felt deep into the soul
Swaying with the music
Therapeutic healing felt within
A center spirit universally understood
Here and now the only sensation
Absorbing a plethoric experience
No beginning or end
Just preserving the dynamic groove.
